Mid-lifecycle updates for PlayStation consoles are almost a tradition, and Sony's PlayStation 5 is no exception.
PS5 SLIM vs PS5: What's the Difference???
The new slim models are smaller and lighter, and can play the same PS5 and PS4 games as the launch models. Like the launch model, the PS5 Slim comes in two versions: one with a 4K Blu-ray drive, and the other is a Digital Edition. The latter can use a detachable 4K Blu-ray drive.
But is the PS5 Slim ultimately a major upgrade? Technically no, but whether it’s worth it depends on the space you have on your shelf.
Overall, the PS5 Slim takes up 30% less space than the PS5. The PS5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital Edition are 18% and 24% lighter than the launch model. Compared to the PS5’s two cover panels, the PS5 Slim has four cover panels, and the top one has a glossy surface.
